2021 Skoda Octavia SE L TSI 1.5L Petrol · FL71 VPE

The 2021 Skoda Octavia SE L TSI presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean bill of health during its most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 34,997 miles. Passing with zero defects or advisories demonstrates that the vehicle currently meets all roadworthiness standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. This clean record suggests the previous owner maintained the car diligently, addressing minor wear items before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the December 2024 test at 29,823 miles and the September 2025 test at 34,997 miles, the Octavia covered 5,174 miles over a nine-month period. This equates to roughly 6,900 miles per year, mirroring the overall average of 6,999 miles annually. There are no anomalous gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate prolonged standing or unusually harsh usage. While the official record lacks any recurring faults or structural advisories, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle has just crossed the 30,000-mile threshold. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as mixed driving can cause lipping even when the system passes its MOT. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant a visual check for premature deterioration, alongside a thorough inspection of the tyre tread depths and sidewalls to ensure they are free from age-related cracking or uneven wear.
